To get ultra wealthy, you have to go over corpses and be radical and very detached from reality AND your own humanity and humility. Because if you’re not, you’ll stop yourself and give back eventually.
It’s more nuanced than that. At least from the small section of that population I’ve interacted with it seems like there is very little malice in their actions. They don’t care and/or don’t understand the impact of their choices.
I had the misfortune of having to sit through a couple meetings with the First Buddy (when a company he owned contracted one I worked for) and he is the only exception I’ve encountered. He struck me as actively hostile as if he viewed everyone around him who wasn’t agreeing with him as threats to be immediately and definitively dealt with.
I’d suggest that the dragons of the world come in many colors and alignments.
